House for an Art Lover

In 1994 Bruce was commissioned to produce the Dining Room Furniture for The House for an Art Lover. The plans for the house – which Mackintosh had originally presented in 1903 – had remained on paper for 90 years before the building was realised in Bellahouston Park Glasgow. This page features various images of the Dining Furniture in the Art Lovers House and images of subsequent Art Lovers’ commissions that have completed.

Glasgow School of art

In 2003 Bruce received a commission for six replacement chairs for the Director’s Room at the Glasgow School of Art. The originals had been in daily use since 1904 and were showing severe signs of wear and tear.

In 2007 Bruce was then commissioned to produce twelve Board Room Chairs to replace the originals as it was decided to protect the original chairs within the Mackintosh museum. This was the first time that the furniture had been replaced in the lifetime of the Mackintosh building at the GSA. Bruce was honoured to have been asked to undertake such a notable work and he is particularly proud of these commissions.

“First working day back in Cape Town and I already have my chairs. In two words: ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I am having to rearrange my furniture accordingly to give them all pride of place. The settle I knew and already loved. The two chairs I had only seen in pictures before – truly works of art. Deceptively simple in looks; devilishly complex in detail. Thank you so much – I can see why you were loath to let them go! I love the reddish wood too… Kind regards from a very satisfied customer. What next?!“

“I am long overdue in writing to thank you for the beautiful CRM Ladder Back reproduction chair that you managed to get to me in time for Christmas. My husband was absolutely delighted with it. It is a work of art. I am especially grateful that he got it before he went back to Africa as I’m not sure that it would have been the same to show him a picture. It is nice to know that there are still craftsmen such as yourself amidst the world of mass production.“

“Well, more than a month has passed since Christmas and I realise that I haven’t dropped you a line to let you know how the ladder back was received…Dave loved it!! His face on Christmas day was a picture…he couldn’t believe that I had bought it and was rendered speechless ( a rare thing!!). He circled it slowly, looked at it from every angle and ran his hands up and down each and every part of it! It has pride of place in his home and I will never regret buying it for him. He is totally impressed with your craftsmanship, as am I. Thank you so much.“

“The chairs and table have arrived in perfect condition, and we are very pleased with the result; in particular, the colour/shade of the chairs and fabric perfectly match our existing furniture/floor. It sure was worth waiting! We thank you a lot. P.S. We also have appreciated the efficient design of the crate … the furniture did travel safely.“

“Hello Bruce, your work has been much admired. The switch box was a most admirable solution, beautifully made and looks like it has always been there. One would not know that the pews had been altered. I sent a pic of it to Nigel Robb, secy of CARTA ata121. He was most impressed.“
